Can the water be boiled in the tea maker?

No it can't. I have an electric kettle that I use to boil the water. It makes it real easy
5218
No. The water must be boiled separately in a pot on the stove or in an electric or regular kettle.
5219
No. I use an electric kettle to boil the water and then pour it in the pitcher to brew.

No, you need to boil the water on the stove, let it cool for 4 minutes and then pour it into the tea maker.

I make iced tea in mine but start it with almost boiling water. I do rInse hot water in it before though to warm it up.

NO. I have had mine for almost a year now and I absolutely LOVE this thing. I drink A LOT of tea and it is perfect to fey your water boiling in no time.

Yes! I just heat the water and add bags/packets to my cup. But the tea bags could be brewed through the coffee system. It heats the water very quickly. Hope this helps!

Yes you can, but if that's all you want to do you'd be better off buying a teapot or something of that sort. The handles heat up so much so that's it's to hot to touch when boiling, liquid. Great coffee maker though

It is not to be used on the stove. It is just to brew the tea by pouring hot water in it

I personally have never used it to heat water for tea. It takes a good 25 minutes for it to brew coffee so if I were going to use it for hot tea water, I think I would:- Heat a small amount of water in the urn until it shifted over to the WARM function- Boil the remaining amount of water separately and then pour it into the urnOtherwise, you might plan on allowing 30 minutes to heat a full urn of water. Hope that helps!

No, just fill it will hot water from a kettle and add tea to steep. Pretty teapot to serve from.

Yes. I actually heat water for tea in an electric tea pot with a temperature gauge. While the water is heating for tea, I fill my stoneware teapot with water and heat it on high in the microwave. It's microwave and dishwasher safe.

No. This is not recommended. I did it once and the teapot survived, but I won't try again. It does keep hot water warm for a long time.

I haven't tried it myself, but it is doubtful that it would provide good results. Most teas call for just under boiling water and steeped at three minutes, give or take. I don't think the Keurig get's quite that hot, but more importantly, it won't steep the tea. It'll just drip water through the tea.You might use the Keurig to heat water, and then steep the tea in the hot water it makes. Might not be quite hot enough, but the results will likely be better than 'brewing' it in that little k-cup strainer thing.

Yes; but, you have to make sure you have a very fine mesh strainer or in fuser to keep the tea leaves/powder out of the brewed liquid.

No you pour boiled water into the pitcher this is a great tea maker but is not for stovetop use

The question is- why would you want to. If you are into tea at this level, loose leaf, controlled brewing, etc, you should be boiling water to make tea properly. Cuisinart makes a great electric kettle that is programmable to the temps of various teas. There are others as well. Microwaving water for tea is for people who don't "get" tea.

Do not boil water in this tea pot. U have to clean it with boiling water no soaps ever, but never heat water in it. It's is made to keep the water warm. If u have a trivet with the tea pot u can place a tea light under it to keep the tea warmer. Boil water for tea in separate kettle then transfer water to tea pot.

This is only for boiling water. At least that is what I use it for. I make the actual tea in a separate ceramic tea pot. Hope it helps.

You could, because the tea leaves are enclosed in the filter. The only downside to this tea maker is that the lid on the serving pot, does not detach for easier cleaning.
